Hi
I am getting the Galaxy SII in the next few days and I am coming form a windows 6.5 phone, but have also used iPhones for work purposes.
Has anyone tested the exchange setup on the new Galaxy?
I am a long standing hotmail user (please dont start a bashing thread hotmail vs gmail etc ) and I want to stay using hotmail.
Is the exchange client on the phone now capable of doing everything using a hotmail account?
If not whats the best solution?
Use a different mail client on the phone?
Link hotmail to gmail account?
I've done a little searching and it seems that different models of android phones seem to handle exchange email in different ways as some phones seem to work others dont.....
I also would like to know what advantages gmail gives to you over hotmail only in reference to Andriod?
Many thanks

Lucky git i'm still trying to justify the spend to my other half.. time to pull out the powerpoint presentation and pie charts
Hotmail works just fine. Haven't configured an exchange account as yet.
Another confirmation on Hotmail functionality.
Exchange sync is available, but unfortunately I can't test it as my work have blocked mobile access unless you have a company BB -_-

Well I am getting the phone free and saving £3 per month on contract .....so didnt have to convience the missues....
Well microsoft has made an exchange server for hotmail and live which i use on mij galaxy s1, so i guess that would work ony any phone with exchange support.
Just enter it like this:
Id: [email protected] (or live)
Password: your email password
Domain: leave this empty
Server: m.hotmail.com(even for a live.nl adress)
Ssl box ticked
Then you can choose what you want to sync and how (push or time based)
I hope this helps

Exchange works.. (im on exchange 2010)
Only thing missing is the ability to push multiple folders
If you need full exchange-ish funcionality, then touchdown is probably the best app to use.

Have you tried TD yet? I'm assuming I'll need to deploy it due to shortcomings in the native Exchange client.

NeoVR can you confirm that when you start typing in an address, that it looks for names in the GAL (Global Address List) as well as your phone?

So if GAL works, can anyone please confirm the following exchange features:
- bi-directional contacts sync
- bi-directional calendar sync
- bi-directional sync of recurring appointments
- html mails
- confirming appointments
and what's about push for multiple folders?

Plus could anyone confirm if folders and sub folders in Exchange are all on one level or have a tiered structure as per Outlook ie:
Folder 1

------ Sub Folder 1
Thanks.
I'm interessted in the Qs of EinPaul and awharton too!
THX in Advance for responses!
Any sign of CISCO VPN or device/SD card encryption?
There was lots about this pre-release but perhaps it has been dropped like Face recognition lock and NFC.
Thanks in advance,

Same problem here. I've been with hotmail for almost 15 years and don't want to change. I want a client that syncs the way activesync did on my winmo phone (with sub folders too)....searched and searched with no luck. I can't believe that it doesn't come with the default client
Hotmail/Live accounts work. However, I tried to link my university email, which uses Outlook, and that didn't work.

Do you have a screenshot to show how it looks like when setup with Hotmail?
Hey all,
On my SGS 2 right from the get go, I cant add an IMAP or POP account to the phone.
When it goes to check the incoming settings, it connects to the server (I can see the logs as its my mail server), logs in and then the email app closes.
I've reset to factory defaults etc and no difference.
My Exchange account, hotmail acct etc are all fine. I just cant add an IMAP or POP account.
Running CF-Root 4.0 on Ke7 kernel. (also tried with stock kernel as well of course)
Ay ideas?
Weird, considering Hotmail is just POP?

Hotmail is a 'premium' service.
Its certainly very strange, and im completely stumped right now. Im using K-9 in the meantime, but I dont really like K-9 that much.
My first thought was it's something wrong with my mail server (using courier-imap and couriier-pop) but it does it on ANY pop or imap account. (at least that I have access to)
UPDATE: If I purposely get the login details wrong, the app will report incorrect login, but wont crash. Only if the login is valid does it crash
My stock email client configured to connect to exchange via notifylink crashes whenever I try to open a larger email. Sorry this has nothing to do with your issue, but maybe it will give you some pointers.

Odd, well I am guessing it's some weird setting in your mail server. Most likely it's your mail server is following the RFC, but the stock email app isn't XD

You and I would assume that as well, but I've tried it on a different server type in a different data center in a different country and it still FC's
I'm completely baffled...
usually, when i connect via ActiveSync my Yahoo email would download
now it doesn't, I dont know what I've changed or doing wrong.
If i click send/receive on my email tab it downloads.

You have push mail set on exchange server defined under ActiveSync?
If so, I recall having similar problems with m.google.com few months ago, the reason being that Activesync would no longer autostart. What helped in my case was simple removing the connection and then setting it again from the start. Not sure if you suffer from the same AS dementia, but maybe give it a try.

from what I've checked yahoo does not provide push service for Windows Mobile - so my initial guesss might have been wrong - but it can be done anyway, in two ways:
- link your yahoo account to gmail account, then configure gmail push
- use sth called seven recommended in this thread
Hi. Is there a known glitch with the Android Email App where it takes emails off the server when in POP3 configuration, even when you have the "Don't Delete From Server" option on "Never"? I'm experiencing this problem. Is there a fix?
Thanks,
-Adam
IIRC "Don't delete from server" is a traditional client config setting that controls whether or not the email is deleted at the time it is polled by the POP client. It does not necessarily control whether or not the client later reaches out and tells the server to delete an arbitary message, and I think this ambiguity is the issue.
My guess is Android is deleting the message from the server when it's deleted from the phone. See the last few posts here.
The workaround I see folks using is to set the "last N days" setting low and letting them fall off the phone's view rather than deleting them.
I haven't used POPn in a while so input welcomed from more knowledgeable folks.

It takes an email off the server as soon as one's delivered (into the inbox). I'll check out the link. Thanks.

I just read through the link. I took the advice of setting up the email client on my computer to leave mail on the server, but it still gets removed when I receive it on my phone.. maybe it's time to call T-Mobile.
But the desktop client leaves it on the server? If so, sounds like an Android problem and I figure TMO will be useless. Hopefully someone else jumps in to clue us in. I don't have a pop+webmail account handy to use for testing (and I'm running CM7).
Are you running the stock T-mobile ROM that came with the phone? Would it be acceptable to try some other (free) POP3 client from the android market?

When I receive the email on my desktop, I can't get it on my phone.. even though I have it set to keep the messages on the server. This is weird!
I know that POP3 is kind of outdated and IMAP is the new popular standard. I'd switch it over to IMAP, but I don't like how when I delete messages from the Inbox, they reappear the next time I check my email.

Yeah, I'm running the stock ROM. What POP3 Client would you recommend from the market?
Thanks,
-Adam
Actually, I think the weirdness is on the server, since the desktop client won't leave them there either. If you share who the mail provider is someone might chime in with info or a fix.
Dunno any 3rd party pop3 apps, as I don't use them.
I'm coming from a Windows Phone, and the great thing about it was it synced all my contacts to my main hotmail. Phone numbers, everything. I'm not interested in moving to GMail, Hotmail has always done it for me and that's that.
So as I'm completely 100% new to Android. My question:
Can I sync my hotmail contacts to the S3? As in, will they show up with their numbers and all? And is there a way to keep it syncing? Will changes made to either the phone or Hotmail reflect?
Many thanks guys, and looking forward to getting this beast of a device!

Seems like you can, search for Hotmail on Google Play (As a new user, I'm barred from linking).

Cool thanks man. I'll Google it. I want to make sure I can before I pull the trigger.
--edit--
A ha, and it looks like we have a possibility.
Official Hotmail app
It says it syncs contacts, but does anyone know if that's just for the email app, or for your phone's contacts???

Yeah when I add a Hotmail account using the built in email client it asks if I want to sync contacts, I usually don't since I use Gmail. I just tried it and it showed one person with a phone number which could be right, but honestly don't know if the number is from Hotmail or something else.
However, you'll have to have a Gmail account to use Play Store etc, and it works really well for new devices/resetting etc, just put in your Gmail and you can restore everything on first boot.
If I was you I'd strongly consider swapping to Gmail, just my thoughts.

Thanks for the help, man.
Well I've had the same Hotmail for like a decade, and just had to switch it actually to Microsoft's new dumbass "@outlook.com" thing. There are so many people who have it, and I like their SkyDrive. All personal taste and all that.
At any rate, I do have a gmail address, and will be using it for Play. But not as my email. Which I do understand is a pain, and a purposeful handicap on my part.
From what you described, it does seem like it imported a number into your phone's contacts. Seems hopeful.

Yeah I just opened the contact and removed the Google account part from it and it still showed a number and I checked my Hotmail on computer and it listed the number, so it seems like it should work, but I'm still not 100% sure. Hopefully someone here might use it like that and will have a better idea.
Yeah I still use Hotmail for my emails, just Gmail for everything else haha.
Yep, you can I have Facebook,. Google+, Twitter and Hotmail all synced up to my contacts

Yes you can, it was a pain to do at first as you have to configure your hotmail sing m.hotmail.com or something as far as I remember, you'll find on google what to do anyway... I, like you, came from windows phone and I do miss that amazing system but the s3 is sick
dont know if you also know that you can if you want also use activesync to connect hotmail to the built in email app, thats how i use it and it works a treat for me
for your users name its "\[email protected]" and for server use m.hotmail.com
It already has been mentioned that you have an Hotmail app and you can also configure an Exchange account. For what you want, you should go for Exchange account, because the app imports your contacts but it doesn't allow to edit them (I don't remember if you can add a new one, but I think you can't); with Exchange you can edit and add contacts, but you only get the first calendar (Hotmail app can sync all calendars). Since you haven't mentioned calendar I guess it's not important.
